The Economy According To Mint
I found this article to be very interesting and insightful. Mint is a company that tracks individual’s spending and has 900,000 registered users. They have seen their membership quadruple since September. Proof that often times start-up success is in the timing.
My Grandfather had the habit of tracking everything he ever purchased with pen and paper and later typewriter. While doing a family research project in high school I came across this information along with an autobiography he had written prior to his death. I found it all to be absolutely fascinating and somewhat obsessive that he tracked every expenditure in his adult life. Although I don’t use mint as of yet, I think it is obviously a valuable asset to consumer, corporations, and general public knowledge as evident by this story.
Dude, sign up already. It’s great. Except for the emails Saturday night when your on your way out saying you over spent this week.
